Life is good for Bernhard Langer, couldn’t be better, some might say. Some, however, would be wrong. The man who has discovered the fountain of youth and won’t reveal its location now has a Major League Baseball player in his family. Yep, on Dec. 1, Langer’s daughter Christina married Chase De Jong, who pitches for

Etsy is a great place to find one-of-a-kind golf gifts all year round. Since most items are handmade or have customization options, the production and shipping times tend to be on the longer side. We understand that the holiday season comes at you fast and even the most organized gift-givers can become guilty of the

Ethan Miller The accuracy of net worth lists ought to be viewed, at a minimum, with a modicum of skepticism, but they are interesting nonetheless, notably when Diddy is shown to be worth more than Tiger and a 21-year-old woman is worth more than either of them. The list is Forbes’ annual ranking of America’s

Golf Digest recently teamed up with some of the coolest brands in golf to launch a line of unique products you won’t be able to resist.

Check out these golf gift ideas that will arrive by December 24. Keep in mind that the USPS deadline for first-class and priority

To say Andrew Landry came out of nowhere to contend for the 2016 U.S. Open is to be generous to “nowhere.” The Texan had just a dozen tour appearances to his name, with zero finishes inside the top 40, and started the week at Oakmont No. 624 in the world. So when he found himself

If you’ve played much golf in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah or California, there’s a good chance you’ve played a golf course my husband designed or renovated. In all, John Harbottle is credited with 15 original layouts and more than 45 remodels. John and I met in college, at the University of Washington, and I remember

A man was discovered in Carnoustie Golf Links’ Barry Burn on Sunday afternoon. According to police, the person is believed to be Dean Morrison, a police officer in Scotland’s Tayside Division. “Dean was a highly respected officer, who was extremely well liked and popular with his colleagues.

Branden Grace finished T-34 on Sunday at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, shooting a one-under 287 for the week at Leopard Creek Golf Club, but it was as good as a victory for the 30-year-old South African. The finish, 13 strokes back of winner David Lipsky, in the last European Tour event of 2018 will likely

Justin Rose controlled his own destiny regarding whether he would snatch back the top spot in the World Ranking and be the last man standing at the end of a 2018 season in which five different players were once No. 1. A two-way tie for 16th or better at the Indonesian Masters, a tournament in

Former No. 1 amateur and Ole Miss senior Braden Thornberry has decided to skip college golf’s spring season and turn pro. In a note on Ole Miss’ website, Thornberry said the decision’s been weighing on him for some time. “What a ride it has been! These past three and a half years have created memories

Bush Presidential Center) Former Army Captain Adam Napier is not traveling light in his journey through life. Emotional baggage weighs him down, the IEDs and fallen brothers in arms, and the physical and psychological scars they

Since the inceptions of the FedEx Cup and Race to Dubai, the emphasis on the PGA and European Tours’ earnings lists have become diminished, if not downright nonexistent. However, finishing high in the money still meant something on the Web.com circuit, as a top 25 standing at season’s end earned automatic promotion to the big

Tennis. . . everyone? England’s Wimbledon Park will be shutting its golf course down after selling the Wimbledon Park Golf Club to the All England Lawn Tennis Club for 65 million pounds (approximately $81.5 million), according to The Guardian. The AELTC has been eying the neighboring property for awhile, hoping to expand its facilities for

Tiger Woods’ comeback campaign wasn’t so much one for the record books as it was a screenplay. Its crescendo coinciding at the Tour Championship was a Hollywood ending, yes, but it was the season’s peaks and valleys—and the tenors and emotions associated—that set the stage at East Lake, allowing the scene at the 72nd hole

Rickie Fowler’s four career wins on the PGA Tour, including a Players, plus two more victories on the European Tour, make for a solid resume. It’s further enhanced by the fact that in 2014 he joined a select group to have finished in the top five of all four majors in the same year—the only

Bob Vokey, Titleist’s master craftsman for wedges, has spent more than 20 years listening to tour players put forth their preferences, then get on the grinding wheel in the tour truck and produce what they wanted. Now he wants to hear from you. Vokey, who got his first wedge in play on the PGA Tour

Discovery’s GOLFTV continues to expand its footprint in the sport. The network, which recently signed Tiger Woods to an exclusive deal, announced on Thursday an agreement with the European Tour which will include 40 live tournaments in 2019 and the rights to future Ryder Cups.

There are approximately 20 phases to a modern Ryder Cup cycle—scholars disagree on the exact total—and while I won’t bore you by listing them out here, I will say that somewhere around Phase 9 or 10, there is a three-day golf exhibition. The rest of the phases revolve around this event, and they range from

The holiday season is in full swing and while you cross off people on your list, our’s keep growing. We’ve all received the usual lineup of undesirable golf gifts—golf bag desk decor, generic boxes of golf balls and golf books we’ve already read. This year surprise your favorite hacker with one of these golf gift

At 25, Cody Blick has plenty of time to author a great career as a tour pro. But for the foreseeable future, he’ll gladly settle for being the owner of arguably the craziest golf story of the year. Blick etched his name into Q School lore on Sunday with a performance quite unlike anything we’ve

One of the ironies of 2018 is that Captain America could have used a good shushing. For all of the deeds Patrick Reed accomplished this year, it’s his words that linger. Too bad, considering there is no shortage of deeds to define Reed’s season. There were the five birdies in the first seven holes Sunday

On multiple occasions during his remarkable 2018 season, Brooks Koepka made it known that he believes he doesn’t get the respect he deserves. At times, he may have had a point, but for the most part, it feels like a forced narrative the three-time major champion clearly uses for motivation. After all, he was both

Mel Reid, a three-time member of the European Solheim Cup team, took to Twitter to announce publicly her sexual orientation. She joined with Athlete Ally, an organization that’s working to eliminate homophobia and transphobia in sports, and stated that she is gay. Athlete Ally published a Q&A with Reid, who has won six times on

In golf, your instincts can get you into trouble. A good example is when you have a long putt. The tendency is to think you have to hit the ball harder than normal. That mind-set leads to a short backstroke and a fast flick on the downstroke. The result is usually poor contact—and a putt

Matt Kuchar is a smart guy and a veteran on the PGA Tour. After all, the man went to Georgia Tech and graduated with a degree in business. Recently, Kuchar—an eight-time winner on the PGA Tour—made a number of changes to his bag, including a big one: switching golf balls to Bridgestone’s Tour B X

When Phil Mickelson raced across the 13th green at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in the third round of the 118th U.S. Open and whacked his ball while it was careening down a slope away from the hole, he crossed through the fourth circle of golf hell. Not only did he change the direction of the

Bob Hope once quipped that Pebble Beach is “Alcatraz with grass.” To Valentino Dixon, the links off Carmel Bay personified something far different: freedom, peace, hope. An escape. But no one escapes Alcatraz, or in Dixon’s case, Attica, which served as home for most of his life. “It’s got to be one of the worst

There are times when we all make this game too complicated. That’s why I started this article with a simple thought: Send it, then hole it. I’m not saying golf is easy, but I find that if you simplify your keys to executing all the main shots, you’ll stop playing golf swing and start playing
